A bipartisan group of 16 senators on Wednesday released legislation that would clarify an 1887 law that then-President Donald Trump and his allies tried to use as part of their attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. The legislation, which comes after months of negotiations, would attempt to more clearly define the role of states, presidential electors and the vice president in a presidential election in an effort to prevent the events of Jan. 6, 2021 in the future. The proposal, led by Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Manchin III (D-W. V.) also makes it more difficult for Congress to raise an objection to state results in a presidential election. It also clarifies how a presidential candidate can raise concerns about a state’s election by creating a three-judge panel with an expedited path to the Supreme Court, an issue that the senators struggled to come to agreement on.

President Putin was left awkwardly loitering and apparently annoyed in front of cameras for 50 seconds by his Turkish counterpart before talks in Tehran. The Turkish media was quick to point out the trick was straight out of Putin’s own playbook, with the Russian leader famed for turning up late and making other world leaders wait. In Moscow in 2020, Putin left President Erdogan waiting for roughly two minutes ahead of a meeting. Turkey’s T24 news website questioned whether Erdogan’s latest stunt was “revenge”. The meeting in Iran was Putin’s first with a leader of a Nato-member country since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February. 🔗 Click the link in our bio to read more
